Thanks for that.

Do you know, this is something that has been bugging me for years.

I have never had the fortune to go to Goodison Park, but I was convinced I had heard the Z Cars theme played on the tannoy at the start of a match somewhere - I just couldn't remember where, and now I know!

I have, this match:

Won't say it was good fortune to be there necessarily, freezing day, 4-1 defeat, and remember we had to really keep our heads down after the game!

Did get a photo of the scoreboard after Whitehead put us one up though!

The only song made up by me that seems to be remembered by others!

Surprising it's got a couple of mentions in the thread though because as far as I remember it was only sung by our group in the open bit of the EE - maybe at 1 away match too - and he wasn't with us long.

The full version:

When it's Spring again, we'll sing again

Gertie from Amsterdam!

When he's on the wing, we'll start to sing

Gertie from Amsterdam!

That was about it I think - corker isn't it!? :laugh:

 

 

I used to stand right at the front behind the fence/wall ie with my back to the exit/entrance of the East End, in our Div 1 days.  There was a chap who occasionally wore his yellow B52s t shirt nearby. I preferred the second album Wild Planet. Mesopotamia. their 3rd, was woeful!

Tip toe

through the East End

with your razor

and your hob nail boots

we’ll tip toe 

through the East End with you.

Tip toe 

through the Tote End

with your hand bag 

and your powder puff

we’ll tip toe 

through the Tote End with you.

Remember my older brothers singing this,both old school 60’s skinheads.

That's brilliant

Really enjoyed those years in the East End, used to just go along on my own but you didn't feel like you were there on your own once you got in the stand. I've been to a lot of games as a neautral and not seen many home atmospheres like that in the modern era

As you appreciated that sketch heres another.

Geordies away.

Large group of West streets finest are in one of those club come pubs places.

The DJ thinks he a top comedian big noise.

Cracking jokes about Wurzels blocking the motorway and sheep.

The club come pub place is running a karaoke competition for a bottle of champagne.

DJ top noise dares the Bristol City fans to pick a song.

Our usual suspect strides up.

Gets handed a list of ditties.

Comes to our boys turn.

Gets asked what’s what and its just the microphone and no music ”.

DJ top noise “ Whoa we’ve got Tom Jones here .. “

And then the education begins..

“When the moon shines on the Cowshed and we’re rollin in the hay ..”

The place erupts with gangs of City Lads all around the club joining in the chorus.

In a time and place like that there was no need to ask who won.

Our boy drops looks at DJ former top noise tells him to keep the champagne and walks off leaving the mike in Deejs hand with his jaw.

I remember as a kid, in the East End in the 1970's the crowd chanting to some opposing player, "Sex case, sex case, hang him, hang him, hang him!". I can't remember now who we were playing, and I certainly had no idea who the abuse was directed at, or their alleged misdemeanor. Not much has changed in football, or society then.....

Ha, ha Phil, as I got ever more interested (fanatically!) in City, so I became less interested in my education.

City's promotion season 75/76 - and all that time obsessing about City, and following the club home & away - corresponding with my A' levels year didn't exactly help my time spent revising, or my results.

Never mind, wouldn't have missed that City era for the world, great times - and the only blokes I still know from schooldays (all in the year above me) I first became friends with through a shared love of City and going to away matches with them in the 70's.

 

 

I well remember back in the early 1970s, FA Cup away to Wolves.

A quick departure after Saturday morning school down to Temple Meads, change of clothes in my rucksack together with a few text books. I changed in the train toilets (school uniform, shirt and tie shoved in said rucksack) and spent no more than 10 minutes revising for forthcoming mocks before giving it up as a bad job. I had left my rucksack in one of the luggage containers at Wolverhampton station, and I remember an almighty argument with the local Police trying to retrieve it before the return journey to Bristol as there had been a spot ? of trouble after the game - Ernie and his milk bottles.

To cap it all, we lost 1-0 as well, even though we had Bobby Gould playing for us - Wolves had the great Derek Dougan playing for them, although it was John Richards who scored their goal, just about the only time he got the better of Geoff Merrick.

The Geordies are a great laugh. Wonderful hosts when we went up there in 2009. I'm not sure they would be quite as hospitable for some teams though.

The only tune that I could pay was **** the pope and IRA.

Forgot about that one, didn't we try signing him at one point after he'd left Rovers? Wonder why he thought better of it!

Not us but thought this was worth a mention.

Everton fans in the early 70s.

To the Knock kneed Chicken chant.

We hate Bill Shankly and we hate St John

but most of all we hate big Ron

and we'll hang the Kopites one by one on the banks of the royal blue Mersey.

La la la la la la, we re the Everton Boot Boys.

 

I'm no fan of Man U, but I'm indebted to poet John Cooper-Clarke for bringing to my attention this anti-Liverpool chant, sung to the tune of a then-popular cartoon character:

 

Kop T**ts. The unbelievable. Kop Tw***.

We all know you sign on the dole

And you live in a f-ing shithole

Kop T****!

Over there

(East end pointing at away end )

over there 

and do they smell 

clap clap clap 

like fu##ing hell

That was to Jim Reeves’ ‘Distant Drums’, and the first two lines were:

I hear the sound

Of distant bums

Over there, (etc.)
